A35520	This is an answer to John Wiggans book, spread up and down in Lancashire, Cheshire and Wales, who is a baptist & a monarchy-man wherein may be seen how he exalts himself, against Christ the light, that doth enlighten every man : and also some of his, and his peoples erronious principles, and assertions, which he and his people held in a dispute, with some Quakers ... / from the prisoners at Lancaster, whom he then opposed being then a prisoner, Thomas Curwen, William Houlden, Henery Wood, William VVilson ; also here is an answer to his appendix annexed to the book by Margaret Fell.

when_o they_o first_o grieve_v it_o in_o themselves_o as_o thou_o do_v and_o as_o in_o the_o four_o of_o john_n the_o world_n receive_v he_o not_o how_o shall_v they_o when_o they_o hate_v the_o
